[WARC] 835 Update - Wednesday

[Erik Brom]

I made the circuit mod, and the repeater is now running at my 
house.  RX antenna is outside, TX antenna is in the basement, so not 
a lot of range.  I just talked to Les from his home QTH and it 
sounded good both ways.  Repeat level is slightly below unity right now.

Clare and Len, Lance, whoever, - can we set up a time this weekend, 
maybe Saturday morning, to adjust the levels?  I'm fully booked 
Thursday and Friday.

I've been busy and haven't had much time to work on this, but I have 
gotten to the bottom of the problem.  Its a subtle incompatibility 
between the Micor receiver and the controller.
The new controller has a slightly higher load on the audio input than 
our other controllers, which is throwing off the squelch circuit in 
the Micor.  I'm going to add a buffer (audio amp) on the output of 
the Micor.  This will take me a couple hours once I get to it.  Soon I hope.
